CUBA. 6060, Feb 2 at 0558, RHC still in Spanish ID & IS, but at
0558.5, cut roughly to end of English hour and then 0600 re-opening
English hour. I was hearing no trace of it before 0300, but Ivo Ivanov
thinx it start at 0100; and there is another conflict at 04-05 with
Algeria via France, an hour I was not checking.
Recheck at 0710, ¿qué pasa? 6060 is still on unlike last night, and in
English, good modulation, the best of the lot, as 6000 is off; 6100 //
9700 are both suptorted but 9700 signal holding up to S9+10. 5040 is
unusually still on this late, but in Spanish. Something's always wrong
at RHC.
Checking 6060 next night, UT Feb 3 at 0200, again no sign of Cuba
here, just JBA Iran; 0315 recheck, now RHC is on with VG signal in
Spanish; so approx. start 0300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 13892, 13829, 13764 S7-S9, 13636, 13573, 13508 trace, all
approx., Feb 2 at 1511, FMish spurblobs with F# tones out of 13700-AM,
at ~64 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 6000, UT Wed Feb 3 from 0420 to 0440, RHC English, checking
for the mid-week edition of Arnie Coro's 'DXers Unlimited', its former
slot on Tuesday/UT Wednesday broadcasts --- no sign of it, just
various other features including sports report, 'Connecting the
Dots'.
However, the Spanish equivalent DX program, 'En Contacto' was heard by
Claudio Galaz, Chile, Sunday January 31 from 2340 on 13740, with
typical content, but he does not say who presented it or whether they
said anything about Coro.
Spanish podcasts including 'En Contacto' are here:
http://www.radiohc.cu/podcasts
but they are quite sporadic lately, the latest being from 17 enero.
Never the voice of Arnie, but the usual Arnie-like topix including ham
DX-peditions, propagation. I listen carefully to the closing credits,
and Arnie is NOT mentioned; instead, "escribe: Luís Milán Roldán; su
locutora y amiga: Marta Ríos".
Has Arnie become a nonentity at RHC? Searching website on Coro brings
up instead a whole bunch of recent COVID-19 stories. As "Coro" in
quotes, zilch. But there may not be anything about the people who do
work there now, not even Marta

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15160, Feb 2 at 1639, JBA music S6-S7 vs ambient

1500 UT. Heard on HF-225 E and a 20 ft. random wire indoor a antenna.

To which Dave Kenny, UK, replied, ``Thanks for the tip, strong signal
here in UK also, from tune-in at 1605 UT with Horn of Africa music and
frequent IDs “Tigray Media House” and “Dimtse Tigray”. 73 Dave``

Nothing listed yet between 15 and 17 on 15160, in HFCC, the latest
dated 27 January; nor in Aoki/NDXC, EiBi. I would have guessed site
Issoudun or Nauen, but those might not be strong into UK. TMH is
apparently well-established on disgraced FB and as a video/web and
satellite broadcaster, but nothing found yet about SW:
https://tmhtv.org/en/about-us/

This implies it`s based in Washington DC, and also a new Feb 1 item
about updating English broadcasts:

This leads to a 24-minute YouTube which indeed starts out in English,
but not about their own broadcasts per se.

UNIDENTIFIED. 1476, Feb 3 at 0313, besides the usual lower-band JBA TA
carriers, there is already one on 1476, suspected TWR Benin. I was
hoping to hear it cut on for presumably the first morning show, Hausa
from 0320 but it`s already on. Nothing detectable on the English
frequency 1566. BTW, it`s no accident that 1476 was picked: WRTH 2005
showed 1476 as the main Cotonou outlet of ORTB except it was already
inactive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6060, Feb 2 after 0200, I start checking for when
RHC may come on; Iran is there with lots of Qur`aning until it goes
off at 0226*, fair signal into Bonaire and a good idea for RHC to hold
off. Not checked again until 0305, this time direct, to find that RHC
has appeared, VG S9+20/30 and managing to modulate in Spanish, instead
of last night`s dead air for almost 4 hours. 0500 recheck, medianoche
timecheck and more Spanish: I guess another hour before English from
0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2071 monitoring, via UTwente SDR:
confirmed Monday February 1 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, starting at
1900:50. The splash from both sides is not so bad this week; 7295 East
Turkistan weaker than usual, and 7280 Vietnam much weaker than usual,
so LSB listening is best. Seems to be intact at spotchex, and not
chopped off short at 1929:50. Earlier, open carrier cut on at
*1856:34; modulation cut on at 1859:49 at end of something, IRRS
sign-on by a different accented voice than usual, really an Italian?
With P O Box contact. 1900:20 FSN headlines before WOR start. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE

** VENEZUELA. 6200+RCUSB, Feb 2 at 0156 via Bonaire SDR, ROCV in SAM
mode displays carrier +2.6 Hz: VP S4-S7 noisy, seems to be citing
phone numbers, tropical music; 0159 TC for 58 minutes past the hour,
6200 kHz. I have raised the question whether this be a pirate, lacking
any YV- callsign implying a government-licensed station.

It is true that when it was newly on 6906-RCUSB, it did claim not to
be a pirate with CONATEL authorization pending; and of course it was
relaying FM & AM real stations in El Tigre; isn`t it about time to be
legalized? See this originally from Oct 15:

6.906 KHZ RADIO ONDA CORTA VENEZUELA -R.O.C.V- EL TIGRE, ESTADO
ANZOÁTEGUI . 50w

En período de prueba y en trámites de permisos ante Conatel -organismo
rector de las telecomunicaciones-.

Actualmente están retransmitiendo la programación de Venezuela 93,7
FM, pero también lo harán con Radio La Voz del Tigre 980 kHz.

Al respecto Robert Lozada, jefe de programación nos comenta lo
siguiente en el grupo “Radiofrecuencia” de whatsapp:

“Buenas tardes grupo espero disfruten de la música que suena en
nuestra onda corta R.O.C.V desde venezuela y tranquilos que ya estamos
es los permisos de conatel no es una emisora pirata o como usen sus
términos que pasen feliz tarde…Transmisión de prueba ya va a salir
independiente pronto”.

Noticia actualizada 15 octubre via CADENA DX:

Según lo conversado telefónicamente con el técnico Gregorio «Polaco»
Kinia y con el Jefe de Programación Robert Lozada si todo sale según
lo planeado después de subsanar unos problemas con sus equipos dañados
por una fuerte descarga eléctrica; ROCV saldrá con su programación
independiente el próximo sábado 17 de Octubre a partir de las 14:00
horas UTC (10 am hora local en Venezuela).

Por ahora han estado retransmitiendo en principio la programación de
la radio «Así Suena Venezuela FM» y en la actualidad «La Voz del Tigre
780 AM».

ROCV utiliza un pequeño transmisor de 50 vatios en la frecuencia de
los 6.906 kHz y en la actualidad es la única emisora que opera desde
Venezuela en la onda corta y agradecen a los radioescuchas y Diexistas
del mundo todo el apoyo prestado hasta ahora sus transmisiones las 24
horas!``

Later on CadenaDX FB, it was suggested that Polaco might want to apply
to WBCQ to help engineer the 500 kW.

BTW we are wondering if WBCQ`s purchase of WHRI is still pending,
stalled? Nothing said about it lately. No twits from Allan since
January 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 2 at
0320-0324: 531(2), 549, 558(2), 603, 612, 621(2), 639, 684*, 693,
711(2), 747(2), 774(2), 837(2), 881.5-birdie?, 882, 891, 1044, 1125,
1476. If I had the time and/or the patience, I could compute the (2)
SAHs, ranging from ``slow`` to ``medium``. *684 with some music audio,
strongest of the lot, no doubt RNE Spain.

Nothing usually heard on 1476; and there is nothing much in Europe
since ORF Austria destroyed its 60-kW transmitter; instead likely 100
kW TWR BENIN in Hausa, scheduled to start just now at *0320 M-F per
WRTH, finding the schedule, where else? under South Africa on page
494. 1476 is their second Benin transmitter; the first one on 1566 is
also supposed to start at 0320, in English, unheard now, but reported
more often into North America, presumably less unfavorably directed.
As for tonight, I`m rather surprised to find afterwards that the K
index at 03 was 4, with G1 geomag storming. It`s true the northern
Europeans, i.e. UK frequencies were not so strong, but Iberia, NW
Africa still arriving (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
